(a) Development provides for suburban living in dwelling houses of predominantly 1 or 2 storeys in height, on appropriately sized and configured vacant lots, which maintain the low density detached housing suburban identity of the Low density residential zone.

(b) Development provides for other housing types at a house scale to provide housing diversity offering choice to different household types and individuals to suit residents through different life-cycle stages.

(d) Development for other housing types, being a residential care facility or retirement facility, which provides housing diversity and enables people to remain within their local neighbourhood throughout their life cycle, may be accommodated at appropriate locations where height is no greater than 1 or 2 storeys.

(c) Development for a dwelling house occurs on appropriately sized and configured lots, and:

(i) where not on a rear lot, has a minimum lot size of 400m2;

(ii) where on a rear lot, has a minimum lot size of 600m2;

(iii) maintains a block pattern that accommodates traditional backyards and large trees.

(d) Development supports a subtropical character by ensuring that a dwelling house on a small lot is of a size and scale that minimises negative impacts on amenity and private open space of other dwellings by maintaining access to sunlight, daylight and privacy.

(iii) avoids overbearing development involving bulk or setback which is inconsistent with the character of a dwelling house on an adjoining lot.

(f) Development responds to land constraints, mitigates any adverse impacts on environmental values and addresses other specific characteristics, as identified by overlays affecting the site or in codes applicable to the development.
